Welcome to
Western North Carolina Brain Tumor Support

Western North Carolina Brain Tumor Support (WNC BTS) is an adult support group for brain tumor survivors, their families, and caregivers.

We are involved in support issues to help patients, survivors, and families better deal with the life shattering issue of a brain tumor as well as how to deal with it and its frightening consequences. "One of the most important features of a brain tumor support group is the ease with which group members can share their feelings with others. It's incredibly positive for participants to be able to talk with others who are in a similar situation and understand what they are going through." - Support Group Facilitator

Evidence has shown that participating in a support group can greatly benefit patients and families coping with a brain tumor.

WNC Brain Tumor Support recognizes that individuals and families respond uniquely to the trauma that a brain tumor imposes on their lives. WNC Brain Tumor Support strives to provide educational and emotional support to assist them in their journey in obtaining the best possible state of physical, mental, and spiritual health.  

2009 Survivors' Picnic  

Since the inception of WNC BTS 11 years ago, it has been instrumental in getting patients to doctors that can help with this terrible disease. The education provided by WNC BTS and it support system has grown into a quality organization, not only known in our area, but throughout the south. The bond between the members is immeasurable.

WNC Brain Tumor Support is a non-profit organization that depends solely on donations. If you can't make it to the meetings, would you please consider a donation? Your donation will go toward scholarships for young brain tumor survivors, education materials, and group expenses. Your donation is tax deductible!
